The game has a good idea and it remembered me few other games.

But there are a few problems with the game:

1. Roads should be placed without multiple clicking. It should be like holding a mouse button and dragging over the map.

2. There is definitely too much resources at the beginning of the game (wood & stone) .

3. Also gold income/outcome is too fast. I spent too much time to build some houses and almost run out of gold. But when I built houses, the situation was opposite: I had way too much gold.

4. Warehouses (in my opinion) should have a bit larger influence range. They are quite a big buildings and I had to place them almost in every spot where I produced something.

5. There is a problem with CPU usage when you have some buildings. I had them about 40 and the FPS dropped to a very low value. I don't know why. Similar games haven't got such a problem and they are a bit more complex.

6. I can feel that there is no building-up sequence. That is something I miss here. It is rather optional and my "feeling" about the game.

7. The map... It is just the same and it contains some wall system. Next time consider removing such artefacts from release version ;) .

Hope you will build up the game! I really would like to see progress here! :)

It doesn't let me save and it crashes 30 minutes in the game. I really like the game and I wish it could be fleshed out more. Good work already though!

Really like the idea, tho I have one question. Is there a way to run it on Windows 32-bit? Wanna try it since I bought it but I didn't think about checking if it actually works in the first place :(

Nice game but there are some issues like i dont have a way to get to stone at level 1 so i end up in a dead end and when i restarted the game it kept me in the same no stone location.

I enjoy the game. It's surprising how much was put into this, from every aspect. The detail, the small town feels, it's all very cool.

However, there are many issues. Primarily with supply. I found that the fire is a massive burden in this game. I had a city growing, had just reached the 1000 person mark, and suddenly, the whole city is destroyed by fire. I had at least 1 well per every 5 homes. This obviously isn't intentional, but the wells just don't put out any water. I would put at least 3 wells to try and solve 1 fire, and by then, I had already lost several huts.

As soon as I got to level 2, my city was hit by a plague. This is annoying as I had no way to defend against it. It wasn't a matter of a few minutes, it was mere seconds after I leveled up. The house would change, and suddenly everyone's dead from a plague. This is very annoying as I don't get to address the actual city, I don't get to try and work on improving, I just get to watch my entire effort get wasted.

Another issue is the battle demo. I get it's just a demo, but it's terrible. Absolutely terrible. There's no way to strategically fight against the enemy. I tried to flank; failure. I tried rushing; failure. I tried luring small units; failure. The red team is too powerful. It's crushing and frankly insulting because no matter what happens, you can't win.

This game has great potential continuing forward. But it's a pain in the rear right now. Big waste of time to watch my city just crumble after an hour or more of playing in mere seconds.

I really liked this game.
And it has great potential, although it is still under development
But is there a minus when you can save the game?

I cant expand anything

Great game so far! After a few attempts at it I decided to try create a really big city. I started off by trying to make sure I had many villagers and food but I expanded fast and ended up 10,000 in debt. I then decided to close all my buildings and use the remaining resources to build buildings that would raise the happiness of my people so I could raise the tax and get enough money to get back into the positives. After that, I built slower (learning from my previous mistake) and I ended up making this:

(I couldn't capture the other two thirds of the city so it doesn't look that big)

Had a lot of fun playing this and can't wait to see how you develop this moving forward! One thing I'd like to ask about however is I don't quite get how city hall levelling works nor do I get how you get different types of residents. At one point one of my huts turned into a medieval house looking thing but then reverted back after being unhappy. It was a little unclear how the city hall levelled up (maybe I forgot something from the tutorial) or how the huts upgraded so how exactly does that work?

the water system is a little weird is there a way to keep the wells full that m not realizing

I loved the game!
1 - I like this kind of visual
2 - The possibility to zoom it's fun!
3 - The sound is perfect, so chill
4 - The english used is easy for non-english players (like me)

But if i can feedback:

1 - When pause the game, try to remove camera moviment. When I go to another window (like a browser), with 2 monitors, the game (paused) still run camera to the border of map without mouse on game
2 - Maybe you need to call hut as HOUSE, and describe better what it's do. I think only this confused me on the game. You combineted description box incame with happness with population in the same box. I don't know, I loss a bit time to understand that is the most important part of game
3 - The game don't show me how to evolute to level 2. Some times its fast, sometimes i dont get evoluted. I see on comments here how it's work, and only now it's make sense for me. It's can be write on the game on a description box over this button
4 - Try to add some minimalyst sound to HUD, like a hover on buttons and actions. Minimal sound.
5 - When camera is too far away from selected build, make camera jump a little fast to the place when "navigate to the place" action

Anyway man, i'm playing about 4 hours this game on debian 10 with mate and nvidia GPU. It's alot nice and alot fun! Great work man. If you need any help with web or linux dev/test, just say!

So I've  played your game I really like it !
Here're my points :

+ The low poly design allowed the game to work really efficiently
+ The sound design is great
+ I liked the way our people evolve
+ The zoom system is good
+ Easy to understand

BUT there're few things that have no sense imo

- The warehouse system makes it too redondant, and build a level 2 warehouse is kind of useless.
> "If you want to expand, use a warehouse, people will be able to export their ressources" This is totally ok. But quite quickly it's more like "lay a building, build a warehouse" as our workers seems to not working for more than 2 buildings.

- The wells. It's just dumb. Why would people take water from the well to store it in the warehouse? It would be way more logic if our people only had to draw water from them instead. With a minimum amount of water for a defined number of buildings and services (like 1 well for 3 houses, 1 well for 1 house and 1 bakery...). Here it's just a non sense. Wells depend on warehouses.

Talking about wells, one time I had a pretty good balance like 1K water, everyone happy with tavern, church, bakery, a good income, etc. But my water level just dropped for no reason. So I had to lay several wells and it broke my balance, my income went to negative, so I had to build houses again, and I had not enough food, so I built fisheries, and more bakeries, so I went to negative again.. At some point I just could'nt find any balance and it was the bankrut, because of... wells.

- Food. Food depends only of fisheries and bakeries when there're hunters and farms. More possibilities would be nice. Why are the hunters only hunting for animal skins? Why is there only one wheat farm ? A bit like the wells, at some point the food level go down, even if you are balanced, for no reason.


I played 10 hours or so. I really enjoyed it but, yes.. at some point I just wanted to give up because after trying different things it seemed that the only way to have a larger city was to build a city of warehouses and wells, with a S load of fisheries every 10m..

Really love this so far. This is just a suggestion, and it really depends more on your attitude toward this sort of thing, but do you plan on setting up a discord server? I know a number of free itch games do that, to better advertise the game and engage with the community around it.

Just wondering if that's on the roadmap at the moment.

I got a death-spiral from an unending barrage of "building is not serviced by a storehouse!"

I ended up building a new storehouse near the effected building each time this popped up, until I had waaaaaay too many storehouses, which didn't even stop that from happening.

Since it was my fisheries (and only my fisheries) complaining about this, it was the end of my city.

I have no idea why this happened.  Even before the first notice, I had, on paper, enough storehouses, and all were efficiently placed.

One minor thing is that I would like to be able to place road-needing buildings without roads.  This is how I think - I like to place buildings before the road network.  It made for a lot of switching back and forth.

Fun game!

Looks great! Are you planning a mac version?

how do i save i sometimes close out of the game and lose all my  progress

Looks like this can't be downloaded anymore! no download link it's GONE!

yeah I changed browsers and then it appeared, thanks for the response!

Ok i'm done

Great game with a lot of potential! Only have an hour or two in the game so far, but more to come. 

Just wanted to ask you devs if you have any plans for entering desirebility into the game? Example: If you build farms or industrial area too close to homes, you would loose happines. 

A hower menu over the Income icon to show what is making your economy plumit would be fairly nice to have. Example you have a negative income of 200. You hower over it and see that you are only getting a total of 180 gold in taxes of a maximum of 250. Or showing that fish industry is costing you 300 gold etc. 

Altso, if you are not aware of him, you should check out Raptor on youtube, who posted a great first look video of your game, and talking about making a series. (Link below) 

Keep the updates comming! Looking forward to follow this game in the years to come :)

Is This like early access or just a demo??

Honestly, it's not very often that I come on Itch randomly, but I have to say, I'm glad I did. I found this game this morning and had a little play around with it and I was pleasantly surprised. It's a work of art, loved everything from the Art style and the niche buildings (and tiered upgrades!) to the gameplay and the implementation of militarized features.

I can't wait to see the progress this game makes, I believe this could really make a dent in the city building genre. 

By the way, do you have a discord to keep up with development yet? I haven't been able to find one.

Any chance for Mac?

Can you save your progress on the paid version or is that not available at all?

Bro, this game is really good, it looks amazing, and just wanna say good job too who ever made this

Wonderful game so far. Excited about seeing it expanding. I really like the chill, low pressure pace. The learning curve is easy (I don't understand why people don't get how to place fisheries or balance storehouses/resources.)

I think one of the most charming factors is the "chill" factor. Please try to maintain that. I understand the necessity of random events and such, but please try to keep the great "chill, low pressure, feel great" feeling when it comes to playing this game.

Also, if there is a way to increase the build distance for the castle gate, walls, etc... that would be awesome. Having to build a road out and add storehouse every so often to increase the build distance in the many directions needed was quite tedious. 

Really enjoy it, but excited to see more content when you guys release it. 

I absolutely love this game, But the first time I saw it on here, I pretty much thought "oh another city building game... but i might give it a try."

I am so glad that I tried it out, This is amazing, from the artstyle, to the mechanics, It's just too good (atleast by my standards) that it can't be described with words. But one thing I am constantly worrying about it becoming a paid game, Since I can't really find some interesting games on Itch.io which are free (and beacuse i'm a bum which is unable to spend money). And it really does lack a save feature, But I'm sure that'll be added sooner or later, Along with some, for example, raiding. Attacking Bandit encampments with your city's army.

Overall, It's amazing. Keep up the good work, This game has some incredible potential, And it deserves the attention it currently gets, And it deserves any future attention it gets. It is very slightly flawed, sure, But it will be fixed, I know that seeing that the people who made this knew how to make such a good game. And they will know how to improve it.

This game is brilliant! It's a game unlike any other I've tried so far. My mind is blown about it. Most city builders tend to be boring after a while. this of course has its exeption being a demo and not a completed game.

I really love the way that you can change the tax ratio, as well as the overall effect that it has on it. I love the way happiness is both represented in colours red to green, as well as numbers when you click on the houses.

I tried the battle demo as well, I like it, could use a few touches but those are more or less the npc behaviour and not the overall battle.

There are some minor issues, or rather annoyances, not that they aren't survivable, but they do tend to drag the pacing of the city Development.

1. The Wood seems to be gathered just a tick too slow. Like you have everything else build but you're in minus and all you need are houses, but you have to wait like 5 minutes for three lumberjacks to gather a total of 9 Wood.

2. The rocks could use a 0,9% gathering speed increase, not that I've ever really run out of rocks but it's going slow too.

3. There are some minor issues regarding the houses and their needs. I have noticed my houses degrading or just being overall unhappy because of lack of Water, even though I've placed a well right beside the houses, and yes, the well is within the storage house area.

4. I find some small issues in the transportation of wares, for example bread and Weavers, I am collecting it and have like 3 Buildings of each, but the storage doesn't seem to be filling up with the bread or clothes and so on. It's the Only ones I've noticed such a thing with.

NOTE: This has NOT affected how much I love the game and I how certain it is, I will continue to play it, because I will DEFINITELY keep playing this game!

Getting past the Issues, I have some general ideas towards further Development of the game.

1. Add a Building of each type, to every stage. Like, I would like to see a level 1 farm and not just a level 2, or instead of Only having a level 1 forester or lumberjack, add a level 2 design as well, of course level two has to be increasing the income of the product, as well as the cost of resources and maintance.

2. placement of the townhall would be lovely to have, instead of being stuck at the same place forever, I would like to be able to switch starting point, for example when you press new game, you go to a map screen at which you can choose a part of the World to start in, and then you can choose between 5 different starting Places in set part of the World.

3. I would love to see a tech tree, like where you can unlock wagons, so the npcs can carry more.

4. Designs, this is NOT a big wish but I wouldn't mind it, but the idea is that you can choose different Building designs for each stage, like whether you want all normal Wood houses or houses with round roofs, long houses, manors, different kinds of farms, like small farm house and big field, this will require a house beside it but it produces more wheat, where the opposite would be big farm house and small field which makes place for 10 people and adds to income via taxes but produces less wheat. 

I don't have more time for writing now BUT I'll leave my email in case you want to hear more because I have SO MANY different ideas for the game, of course, the game is yours and so it's your decision!

One problem, i can't acess "Mine" in my town range, that makes it impossible to complete the game

I apsolutely love this game! Pretty much the best city builder I ever came across. I was just wondering when will you release the full game? 

is it possible to save? great game by the way

Yes! it like me, but I need save option

Great Game!

I love the art of the houses, and the intuitive mechanics.

I would love to to see multiplayer and save game option in the future.

Keep going on your great work!

It's been 10 months since I last played lowpolis
Although there were no global changes, I really liked it

a food consumption stat would be a nice quick creature comfort update you could do. there really should be consumption and production stats for all the resources so i can better determine needs other than my confusion as to why me having 50 docs and somehow people are starving still but i cant build more do to matinance cost overage. its  fun game and once ur stable u can walk away and come back to a treasury full of gold and all the goods you need to build an empire lol
